Description: | A Medieval, cast, lead trade weight. The weight is shield-shaped in plan and rectangular in section. One face is undecorated whilst the other face has the letters IV cut into it. As the weight weighs 113g, or 4 ounces, the IV possibly represents the weight in Roman numerals. 4 ounces fits well with the avoirdupois weight system based on a pound of 16 ounces.
